Agreed, very pleasing result indeed. Would be nice if all police pursuits ended like that.

Let me get this right, these 'young men' carried out a smash and grab, got away on a moped and crashed whilst being pursued by the cops.

I've no sympathy whatsoever for them if this is correct.

Quite.

I suspect the OP's intended response was outrage at the police having the temerity to not just let some thieving scrotes wander off into the distance unchallenged.

A tax payer's stolen scooter got trashed. One survived.

If you wouldn't mind telling me how you come to suspect that I was outraged at the police for not allowing them to waltz off. Perhaps my use of "apparently" or was it something else? I suspect you come into threads just to nitpick and argue. Perhaps my low post made you feel superior in some way but I suspect your just argumentative.

Well, one alternative is that you posted this to somehow gloat at the deaths.

Anybody normal's take on it would be that it's a sad story, but they were the authors of their own misfortune. Full stop. End of.

My old 2 stroke piggio typhoon could do a 13 second quarter mile. Even a generic 125 scooter can outrun a car all day in heavy traffic if they weren't so difficult to catch also easy to ride quickly then I'm sure they'd be robbing other vehicles for use in robberies.

I think its sad someone died, whoever they were. The red tape this will cause will cost far more than a few weeks at a criminal early learning centre. And I don't think it will act as a deterrent - Keys to the city for anyone who comes up with the answer I think. Hard labour is the winner for me.
